There are beautiful ideas of human rights in the US Constitution but these should apply to any human being who has US citizenship among others as well. Gays, lesbians, refugees fleeing worn torn areas as well as various others leaving for a variety of reasons or who have valuable skills, transgenders, Native Americans, the mentally ill either labelled correctly or not, women, African-Americans, Hispanic-Americans, Asian-Americans, etc. should have the same fundamental rights that were given by the Founding Fathers to the very small class that the Founding Fathers were a part of. It is called Progress.

I must not have a copy of the same document you are paraphrasing. Can you cut and paste a bit of YOURS that says that the Constitution was written to pertain only to "
White Protestant Land Owners?" If so, I would certainly like to take advantage of my new and improved rights. By the way, aren't you also confusing Constitution and the Bill of Rights and the Declaration of Independence? You do know that they are different, right? Perhaps you have been listening to that "tard" Hillary a bit too much.
